Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Mix the mayonnaise and garlic in a small bowl and set aside. Using your hands, mix the ground meat and turkey sausage together in a large bowl, distributing them evenly. Form the mixture into four patties, 2.5 cm thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and pancetta slices and cook on both sides until crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil and set aside.

Place the same pan over medium-high heat and add the patties. Cook, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Place the fontina on top and cook until just melted.
To serve, place the burgers on the bottom halves of the focaccia. Top with tomato slices, pancetta, and arugula. Spread the tops of the focaccia with garlic mayonnaise, top the burgers, and serve.
